Less than 36 hours after Brittany Murphy's death Sunday, L.A. County Coroners have completed the autopsy on her body, UsMagazine.com has learned.

The determination of Murphy's cause of death, however, will be deferred, "pending the rest of the other tests including toxicology, neuropathology [brain analysis], and histiopathology [analysis of other organs]," LA County Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter tells Us. This process typically takes four to six weeks, Winter explains. He adds that examiners found "no evidence of trauma to the body."

Murphy had been "taking presciption meds for flu-like symptoms" for several days, and began vomiting early Sunday morning, TMZ reports. At recent appearances before her death, she raised eyebrows with an emaciated, gaunt frame. Production sources told TheWrap that Murphy was "barely there" when she recently shot the film Something Wicked in Oregon. "She'd go in and out of consciousness in the middle of takes."
